Why do we feel good in the mountains, looking at a fireplace or by the ocean? It is not the pretty landscapes, it has to do with their vibration frequencies.  Neuroscience has now figured out how to use sound and light to produce the same brain effects to bring people to deep states of relaxation and inspiration.Dr. Patrick Porter is a brain researcher, author, speaker, and founder of BrainTap. He, along with his team, are passionate about re-programming and optimizing our brains. He joins us on the SuperAge podcast to discuss how light, sound, and vibrations impact our brain function and overall state of being, why sleep continues to be so crucial for better health, the specific brain frequencies, and why we need time in all of them, and more. What you will learn in this episode:-The role of specific brain frequencies (example: beta, alpha, delta, theta)-How to re-program your brain to perform better-The brain’s role in sleep and sleep’s role in brain function-Why people are drawn to places like the ocean, the mountains, or fires-How BrainTap can help you relax, focus, or create“If you’re not getting deep, level 4 sleep, I don’t care if you’re in bed for 10 hours. You’re not going feel good, you’re going to be tired, you’re going to have brain fog, because your brain is full of junk, it hasn’t cleansed itself.” “A creative mindset is more energizing than a problem-solving mindset.”“We’re supposed to be taking a nap next to the zebra and the gazelle but instead, most Americans will go out and get coffee, tea, or chocolate and stimulate instead of use their electrical system and take a nap.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you stream your pods. Thank you to our sponsor InsideTracker.

Click here: https://www.weareageist.com/master-mind-class/In 2019, Susan Guidi was not putting herself first. She wasn’t taking care of herself physically, she wasn’t mindful about what she was eating, and she wasn’t thinking kind thoughts about herself. Now, Susan is a 64-year-old grandmother who is leg pressing 305 pounds. Beyond her impressive physical transformation, Susan has gained newfound confidence, motivation, and a palpable excitement for life. She wakes up grateful everyday and deeply believes that her possibilities are infinite. She hit the reset button on her life in her 60s and now she inspires other women, shows up for her loved ones in a new way, and, most importantly, shows up for herself. She did it with “no pills, no crazy cosmetic procedures, just determination, grit, and mindset!” To give you an idea of where Susan started and what she is up to now, check out her workout and diet routine below. Starting weight: 181 pounds at 5’5"Lowest weight: 136 poundsMaintained weight: 138 poundsHer deficit macros for workout days were: 165g protein (P), 150g carbs (C), 45g fat (F) Non-workout day deficit macros were: 165g P, 75g C, 50g FInitial workout routine: Weight train 5x/week, Cardio 7x/weekSusan is currently in a “reverse” diet and exercise routine to build muscle. Muscle building phase macros for workout days: 175g P, 135g C, 40g FNon workout day macros for muscle building phase: 175g P, 90g C, 45g FMuscle building phase workout routine: Cardio has been reduced to 20 mins a day 5x/week, weight training has been increased to 75-80 mins a day 5x/week Example week of workouts during Susan’s muscle-building phase: Monday - calves, quads, light hamstrings Tuesday - chest, delts, light tricepsWednesday - back, glutes, calvesThursday- rest day (maybe some ab training)Friday - hamstrings and glutesSaturday - shoulders and armsSunday - rest day (maybe some ab training)20 mins of cardio 5 days a weekWork on pull-ups and that is 5x/week“Life is hard, so choose your hard.” “I want to be vital for my grandbabies.

What is the importance of biofeedback for longevity and improved physical performance? How can we accurately measure whether we are in ketosis? What is intermittent fasting? What impact does an 18:6 diet really have on our bodies? What is autophagy? How does fasting affect muscle mass? What are exogenous ketones? What does it mean to be metabolically flexible? With all of the conflicting information surrounding ketosis, fasting, the impact of exogenous ketones, and nutrition as a whole, we wanted to get an expert on the SuperAge podcast to give us some clarity around the topic. Jim Howard, the President and CEO of Readout Health, has helped to create an innovative biofeedback tool, Biosense, used to measure your ketone levels throughout the day to help with goals for longevity, weight management, or peak performance. He, along with this team at Readout Health, wants to help us regain control of our health through proper nutrition and lower the rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and more. What you will learn in this episode:- Why using a biofeedback device can promote a better understanding of our health and be used to promote  longevity- How to know whether you’re in ketosis- The misconceptions around ketosis, health, and diet- What intermittent fasting does for the body- What autophagy is and how it impacts aging- What Jim’s wellness non-negotiable are“A good way to look at ketosis, I don’t mean the keto diet I’m talking about ketosis, is that it’s the other side of the metabolic switch, that’s where the damage is undone. We focus on the undoing of the damage that one has done to themselves.” “If longevity and healthspan are curious and part of your future plans, I encourage it to be, knowing what your actual body is doing as you enter these zones is critical, as opposed to just guessing.” “I was born in 1967 and in this one generation, in 1967 10% of us were obese. 54 years later it’s now at 40%. In one decade it will be 49%.”Try Readout Health’s Biosense ketone monitor with code SUPERAGE20 on https://mybiosense.com. Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Connect with Jim:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-howard-2b33124/Biosense Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mybiosense/?hl=enWebsite: https://mybiosense.comSay hi to the AGEIST team!

She didn’t know it then but she was changing the TV industry and work force for women.

What is dopamine? Can social media use become an addiction? How is social media impacting our brains and ability to feel pleasure or pain? How can we break the addictive cycle of our digital devices? Dr. Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and author of the new book, “Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance In the Age of Indulgence”, joins us this week to answer these questions. She has done extensive work to study and treat a new phenomenon: social media addiction. As Dr. Lembke explains, social media use has become compulsive and addictive. It is a way to comfort ourselves by completely distracting our minds. Interestingly, by comforting and distracting ourselves with devices, we are actually causing ourselves more pain and suffering. How? Dr. Lembke shares her perspective on the topic.  What you will learn in this episode: What happens in our brains when we use our devicesHow our dependency on our devices are doing more harm than goodHow we can break the addictive cycleWhy Dr. Lembke feels more connected and reachable without a smart phone “Boredom is a really scary emotion because all of a sudden we are confronted with questions about the deeper meaning and purpose of our lives. And those are things that we need to be confronted with.” “Instagram is a drug. It releases dopamine in the reward pathway exactly like other reinforcing addicting drugs that people have been taking.” “What we need to do now is intentionally make our lives less convenient. Intentionally seek out painful, arduous, challenging things.”“We’ve become so Inundated with pleasure and so insulated from pain that we hardly even know anymore what it is to experience pain and distress. And most of our suffering comes from excessive reward” “We live in this high reward, drug-ified eco system that’s made us all vulnerable to the problem of over consumption and in some cases addiction” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Read Dr. Anna Lembke’s new book: https://www.annalembke.comSay hi to the AGEIST team!
